It will have to be an Alpine that has the CAN bus (fiber optic) connection. I'm not sure if one like that exists. Or IIRC there exists a converter from CAN bus to normal, but I'm not sure if it works with the CD Changer.

Because it's more expensive. It might be cheaper if u buy it from ebay. And install youself, it takes 10 mins to install if you know how.

yea..cd-changer option is US$765 why would i pay such price, if MB uses ALPINE also as their changer, ive install one in my 95 c-class, but im not sure if the same one will work on my 03 ML, i know it wont be a plug n' play thing since i need to buy an adaptor
